People wth personality disorders/mental illnesses - represent!

<p>Im obese AND aneorexic</p>

<p>im actually normal</p>

<p>I’m sure I’m slightly OCD… but it doesn’t interfere with my daily life that much, so I let it slide.</p>

<p>I think I may have dysgraphia too, because of the symptoms I read. Thanks to the computer, I can avoid it :P</p>

<p>I used to be depressed during middle school (not diagnosed, but now that I look back I was def. depressed). I guess time and will/determination to get better got me out of it.</p>

<p>You see how I always put def. instead of spelling it out? That’s because I don’t know how to, and whenever I try to spell it out the computer thinks it’s suppose to be “defiantly” which is NOT what I want… So I put def. instead! :P</p>

<p>I just took this again and I received a 30?!</p>

<p>Wow.</p>

<p>^ Interesting!</p>

<p>I took it and got a 26. I’m better then I thought :P</p>

<p>I’m sorry I haven’t read the entire thread but when people are talking about how they don’t believe in certain disorders are they not recognizing that these disorders are actually chemical imbalances in the brain and medicine is prescribed to correct these? this is why people who say they don’t believe in any of this really make me mad. i understand things like ADD and depression are over-diagnosed but my best friend was/is so unbelievably depressed that she was hospitalized for a short period of time and has been on a regimen of medicines since…how is this not real?</p>

<p>^^It’s odd though, because I received a 24 last time.</p>

<p>^Perhaps those individuals just find it difficult to relate to those who do possess them.</p>

<p>I received a 22.</p>

<p>I am sure that I have a slight OCD.</p>

<p>I got a 18 just above average.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You must feel like such a freak on here.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Really? That is odd. Did you take the same test?</p>

<p>I should probably get checked on this, but my parents haven’t really suggested it. Anyway, I have a phobia of loud sounds (loud sudden sounds). Which doesn’t sound like a mental disorder, but it really is hard to deal with sometimes. I get breakdowns, anxiety, and I’ve even had the odd panic attack. People just want me to ‘get over it’, but the thing is, I’ve tried and it doesn’t work. I still react the same way to loud sounds, every time.</p>

<p>I’m actually surprised not a lot of people have mentioned phobias (aside from the post about claustrophobia), but perhaps they’re just not severe?</p>

<p>WHAT???</p>

<p>Sorry, just kidding ;)</p>

<p>Sounds like you have what is called an exaggerated startle response</p>

<p>That would be true, if it scared me. But certain sounds make me extremely angry as well. Which is odd and not very…good. I don’t know how to describe it. It’s a mix of a lot of things, but not quite being scared. Fear’s a part of it, but I realize that there’s nothing to be afraid of. And being taken by surprise doesn’t have much to do with it. Knowing that there’s going to be a loud noise is actually worse than me not knowing.</p>

<p>Considering I have an AP Pysch exam tomorrow, this is the perfect thread to be at on CC. lawls.</p>
